Access Issue: CLOSURES: South and East Faces (NW & W Faces Remain Open) Details

The South Face and access trail is closed from Feb. 1st through July 15th, depending on peregrine falcon nesting. Portland Area Climbers Coalition, Washington Climbers Coalition, and the Access Fund are coordinating on this issue. Disregarding this closure will harm their efforts to adjust it and their relationship with land managers.

The east face is closed to climbing year-round due to possible sensitive/endangered plant species.

The NW face and West face routes remain open.

See Closure section below for more details.

Description

Originally done with only passive pro and no cams for pro. P1 - up the low angle dirty start to a shallow dihedral/thin crack/. Belay on a small pillar or if you slung your pro well keep on to the anchor that ends P2. You can avoid clipping the anchor and actually run P2 together as well, very small cams/wireds on a right rising traverse ends P3 under the roof. P4 - clear the roof on the left (Lone Wolf is on the right and ends here as well) for a full length/long extremely hard pitch to the top.
